Not sure I'm brave enough for the drive to lovely Ouray in MH towing the jeep. But we'll find a way. This is too beautiful to be missed due to a scary mountain road!

I say those who feel that way shut off their minds at the top... or closed their eyes!<br /><br />It's kinda like saying watching a GORGEOUS bikinied blonde beauty swaying toward you in the sunshine is wonderful... but then it's dreary when she's walkin' away... I submit that both views have their attributes! You just have to look for 'em! ;)<br /><br />and poor poor Mark... You've been SO deluded by sweat and running shoe salesmen. The correct tire size of a bike is 21" on the front... 18" on the back... and a rumbling V-Twin in between! :) Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393694530214889235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-41841044956900665592013-08-18T00:08:37.695-06:002013-08-18T00:08:37.695-06:00"Yes it is, No it's not".

Every time he asked someone about jeeping it, they said it was closed off with a cable. Will now put it on the to-do list. Thanks for the update!

You can carry stuff on the bike, instead of a sweaty pack on your back.<br /><br />2. Hiking is rough on feet and, sometimes, knees and hips.<br /><br />3. When the hiker gets to the top, there is nothing to look forward to (after taking in the view). The trip down is DREARY at best, and is likely to be just plain annoying. On the bike, the descent will be WHOOP-DEE-DOO!<br /><br />That might sound a little frivolous. But one can get emotionally hooked on looking forward to the descents, and rolling up to the car with a huge smile on your face. You got your reward, and you deserved it!kaBLOOnie Boonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845667016536890886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-40552863849405549712013-08-16T16:27:59.253-06:002013-08-16T16:27:59.253-06:00Those colors are just insane!
